The most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the U.S., liposuction procedures sculpt the body by removing undesirable fat that has not responded to diet and exercise from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms.

We are proud to offer patients our extensive experience and expertise in liposuction, liposuction not only offers the opportunity to slim and contour chubby areas of the body; by removing the fat cells, it also ensures that these areas will not accumulate fatty deposits in the future.

During the natural aging process, some of the earliest and most visible signs happen around the eyes. Excess or sagging skin in the upper and lower eyelids can make you appear older than you really are and create a tired, worn out look.

Commonly referred to as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids or both. Eyelid surgery can correct several common cosmetic eyelid concerns, including: (more…)

A beautiful prominent cleavage has been the desire for many women around the world since the first breast implant was done in the 50’s. The reasons are mostly to gain confidence, to look better in certain clothes and ultimately to feel more feminine.

Basically, there are two cases: women who were born with small breasts and are not satisfied with this size and women who have lost volume and fit in the chest after nursing, weight loss or aging. There could be other reasons like the asymmetry of the breast or a notorious difference in size between both breasts.(more…)

Rhinoplasty is the one thing that can dramatically change the way you look. We all have seen this change in celebrities like Megan Fox, Ashley Tisdale or Blake Lively, and the results are amazing! So the more you think about it, the more you feel that it is what you need, you are not alone in this feeling: Rhinoplasty occupies the third place of the cosmetic procedures in the US, only after breast augmentation and liposuction.

Most people decide to do it for aesthetic reasons, nevertheless there are people with breathing problems caused by a deviated septum or a nose fracture. No matter what your motivation is, the one thing that is probably holding you back from doing it is the money right?(more…)

Getting rid of the fat and loose skin around the abdominal area is a popular desire for women and men, post baby body or after massive weight loss. For most people it is not a matter of appearance, it is something that affects a person’s quality of life by decreasing self-esteem and by forcing to use everyday a medical girdle to support the extra skin. If you are considering this surgery, you must be aware that the tummy tuck cost in the US is between $9,000 to $10,000. For an average citizen, it might take several months to gather this amount of money, or seems almost impossible with the everyday expenses.(more…)

Arm lift surgery is most common with men and women who have lost a large amount of weight and are struggling with excess, hanging skin. However, other factors such as age or genetics can cause skin along the upper arms to sag. Like the tummy tuck, the goal of the arm lift is to achieve a firm, taut appearance through the reshaping of the underlying tissue and removal of excess skin. (more…)

Tummy tuck in Brownsville. This procedure is extremely beneficial for a woman’s body after pregnancy and treating residual problems after significant weight loss. In the case of significant weight loss, a tummy tuck can achieve a similar goal. When someone loses a massive amount of weight, they may have unwanted, extra skin that is unable to be corrected through diet and exercise.

A tummy tuck can remove large amounts of excess skin associated with the weight loss. This process significantly improves the appearance of the torso, leading to a greatly improved self-confidence and motivation to maintain the results.

If you’re worried about your cheeks sagging and want to give them a bit of volume, a filler like Voluma will rejuvenate your whole face without the downtime of invasive surgery. Voluma is an injectable, smooth gel with active ingredient hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a sugar that occurs naturally in your body and actually keeps your skin soft and moisturized. Compared to cheek implants, Voluma is a low-risk procedure with little downtime. (more…)

A brow lift has many clear benefits for patients choosing this procedure. Apart from improving your overall facial appearance, making you look more awake and less stressed, this procedure will give you an immediate confidence boost to aid you in social and work settings.

Rhinoplasty in Rio grande Valley. Dr. Franco Reyes and Dr. Bernardo Gutiérrez, offers rhinoplasty procedures to his patients at his cosmetic surgery centers in Brownsville Texas and surrounding areas like Harlingen, Mcallen, Pharr, San Benito, Edinburg, TX. Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a nose job, is a procedure used to alter the shape, size and dimensions of a nose to improve the overall appearance of the face. (more…)

Women in Brownsville and surrounding areas like Mcallen, TX look to Dr. Reyes Jacome for a breast augmentation, a surgical procedure designed to enlarge a woman’s breasts. This procedure can help make the breasts more proportionate to the rest of the body, and can even out breasts that are different sizes and shapes. A breast augmentation can also enlarge and reshape breasts that have lost their fullness or shape due to weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding or age. Dr. Reyes also performs this procedure for reconstructive purposes on patients who have undergone a mastectomy, or who have a congenital breast deformity.

The nose occupies the center of the face and, therefore, from early on attracts attention. The structure of the nose basically consists of a skin envelope surrounding various bones and cartilages. It is the bony and cartilaginous structures that are contoured by the plastic surgeon. The purpose of the operation is to alter the size and shape of the nose to help achieve balance with the rest of the face. Most patients seek a reduction in the nasal profile, but some cases, especially certain ethnic groups like Asians and African Americans, may need augmentation or enhancement of the profile. We tend to use human cartilage as the source of the implant rather than synthetics. (more…)

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by contraction of muscles that are attached to the overlying skin. Each muscle contraction causes the skin to bunch together, forming lines between the bulk of the muscle. The most common locations for dynamic wrinkles are frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines across the forehead, and lines extending from the outer corners of the eyes, often referred to as “crow’s feet”. Weakening these muscles will cause a reduction in the severity of the facial wrinkles, or can prevent them altogether when muscle weakening is done before wrinkles form. In addition to surgery, which can permanently weaken some of these muscles, applying botox fillers injections into the specifically targeted muscles will temporarily decrease the action of the muscles for 3-4 months thereby eliminating wrinkles or causing a softer appearance to already formed dynamic wrinkles. (more…)

The operation consists of developing a pocket behind the chest muscle or the breast tissue. The implant pushes the breasts forward, but it is not actually within the breast tissue. The size of the implant to be used is determined by the amount of the existing breast tissue, by your height, weight and the final size desired.

Is it your time for a makeover? After dedicating months and years to your children, you deserve some care all for yourself. Moms just like you are choosing cosmetic surgery from the Clínica del Rey to slim out some of the lumps and bumps that all too often accompany motherhood. (more…)

Getting the right amount and type of fillers is key in aging gracefully.

Absolutely. Botox (and competitors like Dysport and Xeomin, are highly purified toxins that can temporarily erase or reduce horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines, and crow’s-feet. ”

At Clinica del Rey we perform liposuction in combination with other procedures. Often, the outcome of one procedure can be enhanced by another, and when it’s safe and indicated, Dr. Franco Reyes and Dr. Bernardo Gutiérrez can combine the procedures into one surgical period and one recovery period. A popular combination procedure is the Mommy Makeover, which usually involves a breast surgery, like a lift or augmentation and a contouring procedure like liposuction or a tummy tuck. Sometimes all of the above. During your consultation, our doctors will review the treatment options that are right for you.

A traditional (full) tummy tuck is suitable for both men and women who have a moderate amount of excess skin in their midsection. It is commonly performed on women post-pregnancy. During this surgery, the incision extends from hipbone to hipbone, which grants the surgeon access to a greater portion of the internal structures. Liposuction is used to remove fat and the abdominal muscles are pulled and tightly secured. The belly button is usually re positioned for natural placement. (more…)

Liposuction surgery can be used to treat those pockets of fat that just won’t go away, no matter what you do. And it works in many parts of the body including the thighs, arms, neck, hips, waist, back, inner knee, chest, cheeks, chin, calves, and ankles.

Liposuction surgery is not a treatment for obesity and does not replace for regular exercise and good eating habits. You will want to be in good physical condition before you have this procedure. (more…)

The newly approved “gummy bear” implants – also known as cohesive gel, highly cohesive gel or form-stable gel silicone breast implants – are a type of silicone implant. The gummy bear nickname is because when cut in half, the implant is stable and retains its shape, similar to gummy bear candy. (more…)

In the past, gravity was believed to be the culprit responsible for facial aging, but more recent research has shown that volume-loss in the midface is to blame for at least 80% of sagging, wrinkling, and drooping. We now know that what causes deep wrinkles, hollows, and folds, as we age, is deflation, caused by the loss of fat in the cheeks and midface, combined with the migration of remaining fat to lower areas in the face, such as the jawline, says Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome, Plastic Surgeon at Clinica Del Rey. Lipo-filling for facial rejuvenation directly addresses these changes, (more…)

Some women may experience severe changes in their bodies after pregnancy. Abdominal muscle can be lost and pregnant women may also have excess in abdominal skin. Gaining weight, stretch marks and saggy breasts are also the result of pregnancy. Although strict dieting and exercising can help improve the appearance of the abdomen area, the skin will loosen and breasts will not look as large or as natural as before. Achieving the ideal shape is now possible with the Mommy Makeover. This is a combination of a Tummy Tuck and a Breast Augmentation procedure, which can help these women get amazing results. (more…)

A Breast Lift or Mastopexy will lift your breasts, reposition your nipple, and improve their shape by restoring volume and fullness. The procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue and repositioning the nipple to the middle of the breast. The reshaped breast will be lifted to sit higher and bring back youthfulness to your chest. A Breast Lift can also be combined with a Breast Augmentation to restore both shape and increase breast size. (more…)

We know that every woman is unique in both her desires and her body shape. With that in mind, we take the time during the pre-operative consultations to learn what each patient hopes to gain from breast augmentation surgery and to decide which implant type and implant placement is best. In this way, every one of our patients enjoys completely customized treatment designed with her specific goals in mind. (more…)

Implant placement beneath the muscle of the chest offers a few advantages over placement beneath the breast tissue only. These include reduced risk of capsular contracture (post-operative tightening around the implant) and less interference with mammogram examinations. Possible disadvantages include need for drainage tubes and elevated pain in the first few days following surgery. We will discuss which option may be best for you. (more…)

Most people have heard of breast implants. But what is a butt implant, and how do they differ? Buttocks implants are made of a solid, but soft silicone. The implants are very strong and will not rupture or leak into the body. The surgeon will make an incision about 2”-3” long in the crease of the buttock. The scar will be invisible placed in the crease between the buttocks. The implant will then be inserted either submuscular (under the muscle) or sub-fascial (above the muscle). Expect your surgeon to discuss the best placement option for your body type and desired outcome.
The Submuscular Buttock Implant is the best choice if you are looking for more fullness in the top half of your buttocks. This implant will help round the buttock if the patient has natural fullness in the bottom region, but is flat on the top half. The surgeon will place the implant behind the muscle. The submuscular implant surgery is specifically designed for filling in the top of the buttock and will feel very natural and create a sexy full look. (more…)

To insert the buttock implant, the surgeon has to make an incision either in the gluteal crease or in the natal cleft. Although the first region carries a much lower risk of infection, cuts are more commonly placed in the groove between the butt cheeks where scars are not visible. The location of the incision is discussed prior to the operation and your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to keep the incision area clean and how to handle your personal hygiene. A five-centimetre long incision is enough to make the surgeon able to create pockets to insert the buttock implants into. They can be placed in two different ways, depending on which half of your bottom you want to enlarge. (more…)

Would you like to take 7-10 years off of your appearance over a long lunch? Do you look in the mirror and see someone much older than you feel and wish you could do something about it without surgery? Many people would like to rejuvenate their appearance and enhance their facial features, but hesitate at the idea of an invasive surgical procedure. Now men and women have another option to improve their facial appearance with a Liquid Facelift. (more…)

Butt implants, or buttock implants, are intended for men and women who would like more curves and/or a well-balanced physique. This can improve an individual’s buttock contour by creating a fuller shape. Made out of solid or semi-solid silicone, butt implants have a soft, natural feeling similar to a well-toned muscle.

1. The anatomic zone of the gluteal region is marked.

2. The place of the incision is marked and we define the area.

3. An incision is made between the buttocks in the midline. Through this incision a pocket is made just large enough for the implant.

Tear troughs are semi-circular creases/depressions which start at the nose and run along the bottom of the lower eyelid just above the cheek bone. These depressions can produce the illusion of darkening around the eyes resulting in ‘dark circles’ or ‘tired eyes’.

As we aged, the eyelid above and cheek below begin to sag however; the depression cannot sag with the rest of the facial skin due to its ligamentous attachment to the bone of the eye socket. This results in the depression deepening and the shadow and dark circle becoming more noticeable.

When tear trough deformities are present, injectable dermal filler such as hialuronic acid can be used to correct them. The goal is to fill the trough below the bag and lift the cheek to provide a more natural contour between the two, effectively masking the appearance of the bag.

The filler is injected with a very fine needle under the skin surface along the line of the hollow. An anesthetic cream may be applied to the area for 30 minutes prior to the treatment although often no anesthetic cream is required. The area is then gently massaged.

The results with dermal fillers are instant. After the treatment the treated area may be slightly red and/or slightly swollen, however you can resume normal activities, drive yourself home or return to work immediately after the treatment.

The results typically last 9 months to a year although the exact length of time will depend on the structure of your skin and other factors such as lifestyle, age and the degree of perfection demanded by the individual.

With over 3.7 million Botox/Dysport injections in 2013, it’s obvious that this non-invasive procedure is popular. In fact, it is the most performed non-invasive procedure in the US. Such a massive amount of procedures begs the question, are they all being done properly? We all know the face of an over-done celebrity from fillers and Botox, why is it still so popular?
The answer lies in the fact that Botox properly injected by an expert is completely different than the results found on TMZ. Dr. Bernardo Gutierrez, a certified cosmetic surgeon, has been injecting Botox for a long time and uses his deep understanding of facial anatomy to refresh his patients. The difference between an expert and a novice needs to be understood by patients everywhere.
What makes a Botox/Dysport provider an expert?
Nurses, family doctors and even dentists are providing Botox these days due to the lucrative market. Does a dentist’s expertise really match that of a cosmetic surgeon when it comes to understanding how the face works? “I’ve been injecting Botox for 11 years,” says Dr. Gutierrez. “Over those years, I’ve learned a lot from my patients and their differing anatomies. I’ve learned how to make them look younger and better.”
“Basically what I do is a dynamic assessment. When patients come in, I don’t just go, ‘Hi, Mrs. Smith. Let’s do the Botox, you’ll be fine. OK, done, see you!’ I ask them to move their brows, I ask them what shape of brow they like. Do the lines bother them between their eyes? Do their forehead lines bother them? Are they bothered by their crow’s feet?”
Balance is key, and understanding facial anatomy is only the beginning. Experts know more than just where to inject Botox to get desired effects; they also know how the surrounding muscles will react to the Botox and take that into consideration. “You have to balance all of the muscles because Botox weakens muscles,” says Dr. Bernardo. “If you weaken one, the other is a little stronger because there isn’t a counter force against it anymore. The art of it is keeping it very individual per patient.”
Paying for an expert guarantees the most visible part of your body won’t look odd
With the variety of nurses and/or physicians of unrelated disciplines marketing their Botox injections for cheaper than your local cosmetic surgeons, it’s no wonder many patients seek out the cheaper alternative. While patients may save some on the procedure, the final outcome probably won’t achieve their desired results and they may end up having to pay more to have it corrected.
“People who are novice injectors (such as nurse injectors who buy product from physicians) are injecting at a very inexpensive price for the Botox,” says Dr. Gutierrez. “They don’t have a lot of experience, and patients start to realize that they don’t look right after their Botox. They think, ‘I look funny.’”
Understanding what looks good is also a trait that certified cosmetic surgeons have spent their lives working on. A nurse may be qualified to know how to safely inject the product, but do they know where to put it that maintains facial aesthetics?
“It’s a difficult perception to understand what’s not right about the face, and that happens a lot,” explains Dr. Bernardo. “You have to teach the patients what’s natural and what looks good. Yes, it’s ok to have a little lines above your brow, because it looks natural and healthy, not done.

The relentless pull that works on all body parts eventually causes descent in the most surprising areas. For example, your nose, as well about sagging earlobes, prompted by cosmetic surgery clinics that advertise earlobe surgeries.

Unfortunately, earlobes do not get a pass from the aging process. Earlobes age by sagging and growing longer. With the sagging, some earlobes get thinner and develop creases or wrinkles. In women with elongated earlobe holes or actual earlobe hole tears, resulting in a split ear lobe, the ear lobes are often quite thin – even after surgical repair. The condition is made worse, or even partially caused, by heavy dangling earrings that pull down the lobes. But now that men are stretching their earlobes by inserting large cylindrical disks, they are also likely to have earlobe disfigurement.

At Clinica Del Rey, we offer an earlobe rejuvenation treatment. We can inject dermal fillers to “revolumize and restore” earlobes to make them look more youthful. Hyaluronic fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are used to achieve a tissue-expanding effect. A big plus of this treatment is that when you inject dermal fillers into the earlobes, results persist far longer than when you inject fillers into other facial areas. Why? There is a total lack of muscle movement in the ear lobes and therefore no wear and tear. The addition of an injectable filler is meant to expand the stretch the earlobe into a more youthful appearance.

In a perfect world, your earlobe should not comprise more than 25 percent of the total length of your ear. If earlobe rejuvenation is on your list, a board-certified plastic surgeon can present you with options.

It is always being told to us that smoking is injurious to health but most of us never knew the fact that it also affects the aging factor. In a study the results have shown that smoking is one of the major causes of premature aging. While many factors like sun exposure, alcohol, weight gain or weight loss and depression contribute to premature aging, continuous smoking can make you look more than five years older than your age by affecting your facial features which includes significant changes in upper & lower eye lids’ skin (bagginess), wrinkles and aging lines. It was analysed that the style and selection of smoking devices determine what parts are affected the most by smoking. The data was gathered to examine the aging effects of smoking on the faces of identical twins in that study.

When you imagine the perfect gym body, you probably picture bulging biceps, round shoulders and taut forearms. Any good weight training schedule will dedicate at least one or two days per week focusing on the arms, but sometimes, results just don’t show up no matter how hard you try. Here are a few reasons why you may not have the arms of your dreams:

Your focus isn’t varied
When you think of sexy arms, do you only imagine biceps? While this muscle group is important, there are other parts of the limbs that you’ll need to focus on if you truly want that sexy, toned look. The triceps, which are located on the backside of the arm opposite the biceps, can be worked out by doing rope-pull downs or triceps extensions. Forearms can be more difficult to target, but using free weights is a good start. The more training you put into the other parts of your arm, the more likely it is that your forearms will beef up.

You have stubborn fat deposits
Is the rest of your body slimming down, but your arms are still looking a little too plump? If so, then you may have stubborn fat deposits in your arms that are getting in your way. This issue isn’t uncommon – while fat deposits that won’t go away with exercise and diet are most commonly found in the hips, stomach, thighs or buttocks, the arms can also be affected by this annoying problem. Fortunately, aesthetic surgery can help. Liposculpture procedures can remove these pockets of fat, helping you slim up your body more evenly.

Age, gravity and elasticity are not on your side
There’s no getting around the fact that as you age, your skin will begin to sag. This happens because of the effect gravity has on the body over time, but rapid weight loss can also cause excess skin to hang. Once again, a visit to our office can reveal how this issue can be taken care of surgically. A procedure known as an arm lift can tighten the skin around the upper arms, thus eliminating what are commonly referred to as “bingo wings.” Many people choose to combine an arm lift with Liposculpture in order to slim down the arm while still keeping the skin tight.

Patients can easily shed pounds after dramatic weight loss surgery, but what happens to all that extra skin?

While they see significant results with regards to their weight, all too often they are plagued by excess skin, which can wreak havoc on a person’s emotional and physical health. People may improve their appearances by having procedures such as liposuction or gastric bypass surgery to remove pockets of fat, but to achieve the best, healthiest figure possible, some patients choose to go back under the knife to tighten or eliminate sagging skin leftover from the initial operation.

Sagging skin prevalent among weight-loss procedure patients
Although weight-loss procedures may be effective at making a person skinnier, there is little they can do with regards to a person’s skin. NBC News recently reported on this phenomenon, following a group of patients who were plagued by unattractive skin following their operations. According to the source, people who had leftover tissue experienced pain, chafing and decreased self-confidence, partly due to the fact that clothing didn’t fit properly.

The main reason skin appears to be so loose following weight-loss procedures is due to the fact that the organ does not have time to readjust to the body’s changing form, the article explained. Weight loss of any kind can result in sagging skin, but when it is lost quickly, the skin loses its elasticity.

Cosmetic procedures can improve physical and mental health

Cosmetic procedures are the fastest, most effective way to treat this common issue. Clinica Del Rey recommends a number of procedures that are most helpful for these patients, including plastic surgery after dramatic weight-loss, upper and lower body lift and thigh lift, based on the severity of the skin’s condition.

People who are considering this form of surgery should heavily weigh the pros and cons of a second procedure, including monetary and physical costs. However, NBC News reported that undergoing another operation to improve one’s physical appearance following weight loss could be incredibly beneficial for healing emotional wounds and improving self-confidence.

As more people turn to cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearances, many others are left wondering: Can I say something?

Much like asking a woman whether she’s pregnant, asking a person if they’ve had plastic surgery is not generally socially acceptable. However, there are ways that people can acknowledge and compliment procedures without coming out and directly asking about them.

Don’t ask; they’ll tell
Generally, people are discouraged from asking co-workers or friends if they’ve recently paid a visit to the plastic surgeon. While the surgery may seem noticeable, the person may not want other people to know that they’ve had surgery to enhance their looks. Dr Franco Reyes Jacome, explained that some patients may be insulted if you ask them point-blank whether they’ve been under the knife. He added that this kind of abrasive questioning could not only come off as rude, but could have a negative impact on the person’s self-esteem, as well.

Focus on the positive
Instead, Dr. Reyes suggests complimenting the person on his or her looks. He quoted another board-certified surgeon who offered a piece of advice for these individuals, explaining the best practices for approaching the conversation.

“My patients who have had cosmetic procedures say they really appreciate it when others tell them they look good,” he explained. “I think it would be appropriate to say something like: ‘Sally, you look really great; so refreshed! Vacation definitely agreed with you.'”

However, you must be careful when approaching the conversation with people in the office, or acquaintances who you are not very close with. Instead, Dr. Franco recommends taking a more formal approach, such as merely complimenting their appearance or asking how their vacation time was. If they are not willing to divulge details, it’s best to move on.

Remain supportive
Whether you suspect a person has had plastic surgery or they have admitted to a procedure, it’s imperative that you remain supportive of their decision. One surgeon explained to Reuters that being encouraging is a great way to not only bolster the person’s self-confidence, but to increase your own knowledge as well. She explained that once you have broached the topic and heard about their procedure, you can now learn about the ins and outs of cosmetic procedures from a real person who has had an operation. Additionally, she added that it’s important not to criticize the person’s choice or new appearance, as while you may disagree with their decision, you must honor his or her ability to choose.

People weren’t quite sure what to think when Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova, nicknamed the “real-life Barbie,” became Internet famous after pictures of her circulated on the Internet. Though Lukyanova, who has a large YouTube following, told The Daily Beast that she has never undergone cosmetic surgery aside from breast augmentation, her striking resemblance to the popular children’s toy brings to light an interesting question: How far are people willing to go to look like their beauty icons?

The New York Times recently tracked several individuals who underwent a string of cosmetic procedures in order to resemble famous celebrities, including Kate Winslet and Heather Locklear. Patients started to bring pictures to surgeons and request surgeries that will help them to look like these Hollywood icons, though doctors warn that it is impossible to completely recreate the exact look of another human. Factors including bone structure, facial proportions and genetic predispositions all play a heavy factor in an individual’s unique appearance.

While it may seem like the number of patients requesting celebrity looks is on the rise, plastic surgeons cannot replicate another person’s entire face. It is possible to emulate a desired feature, such as similar eyebrow structure or an identical nose, but consideration of your unique facial structure and features should always come before the celebrity look you’re trying to achieve.

It may be possible to slow down the skin’s aging process by boosting support of the dermal extracellular matrix, a new study finds.

As the skin ages, the extracellular matrix, which acts as a scaffold for skin cells, becomes fragmented. Fibroblasts shrink and less collagen is produced causing the support structure to decline.

The researchers found that injecting the space between the skin cells with a filler enhances the structural support of the extracellular matrix.

Investigators injected a dermal filler into the facial skin of 21 volunteers over age 70 during a three month period. Data indicated that the filler stimulated fibroblasts to begin producing more collagen and boosted the support structure of the extracellular matrix. This increased support, the researchers noted, appeared to further stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts and increase epidermal thickness, according to the abstract. The entire layer of skin grew thicker with more blood vessels, which nourished the cells.

“By altering the matrix using an external filler and increasing the internal pressure, we’ve shown that we can essentially trigger a signal for cells to wake up,” a researcher said. “This shows that skin cells in elderly people have the capacity to respond robustly in a very positive way to alterations in the mechanical property of their environment. We still need to know more about how cells sense their environment, but in general it appears we have made a real difference in the structural integrity of skin.”

While plastic surgery may have once been seen as a medical procedure for just women or people with a higher-than-average income, advances in the field have opened opportunities for various individuals. The people getting plastic surgery aren’t doing so simply for cosmetic reasons either – it appears that some people see plastic surgery as a way to improve their odds of getting a job.

Businessmen are using noninvasive procedures such as Botox injections or dermal fillers to help them stay ahead in their field. They favor these treatments because they are quick, inexpensive and can possibly help them edge out competition from younger candidates.

Whether or not professionals will admit it, appearance makes a big difference in competitive markets. Men who have deep wrinkles or creases around their eyes or mouth may be discriminated against, particularly if they are up for a job position for which they will be competing against people in their 20s or 30s.

A treatment made famous for fighting wrinkles may also provide lasting relief from another embarrassing condition: excessive underarm sweat.

Known in medical terms as axillary hyperhidrosis, the condition affects more than a million people in the U.S. People with this condition sweat up to four times more than normal in order to maintain a normal body temperature.

People with the disorder often suffer from difficulty in social situations and say it significantly interferes with their daily activities.

The study also found that the treatment had a positive effect on the patients’ quality of life, for example:

Before treatment, 66%-72% of patients were somewhat or very dissatisfied with their ability to perform their current work activities, compared with 9%-20% after treatment.

The number of patients who reported feeling “emotionally damaged or injured” due to their hyperhidrosis reduced by about half before and after treatment, from 76%-83% to 32%-42%.

Participants reported significantly less limitation in interpersonal and social situations. Before treatment 17%-33% said they were somewhat or very satisfied with their ability to perform nonwork activities. After treatment, that proportion increased to 78%-88%.

People who are considering this form of surgery should heavily weigh the pros and cons of a second procedure, including monetary and physical costs. However, NBC News reported that undergoing another operation to improve one’s physical appearance following weight loss could be incredibly beneficial for healing emotional wounds and improving self-confidence.

Walk into any surgeon’s office requesting a Mommy Makeover and they’ll know exactly what sort of procedure you would like. But if you were to request a Daddy Do-Over, would your surgeon know what to expect, or would they be caught off guard by your question?

A rising trend known as the Daddy Do-Over has been featured in a number of news articles recently. Unlike Mommy Makeovers, the Daddy Do-Over trend does not feature a staple procedure or set of operations. The term has been used more as an all-inclusive term for the set of surgeries sought by middle-aged men.

Daddy Do-Overs gain in popularity among middle-aged men
Parents frequently undergo changes after having children, whether they appear to be more tired after caring for infants at all hours of the night or they’ve experienced premature gray hair due to stress caused by teenagers. Either way, children can cause wear on a person’s appearance. While women undergo physical changes as the result of childbirth, men may experience weight gain, hair loss and sagging due to increased emotional stress. Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome told us that of the men who come to his practice seeking surgery, he classified one group as the “athletic dads.”

“As a play on the ‘mommy makeovers’ we now have ‘daddy do-overs,” he explained. “This is what the banker wants. He’s married with kids, probably put on 15 pounds. He’s in his 40s and he’s thinking, ‘Man, I used to look so good in college.'”

He detailed that some of the most common procedures for this group include liposuction, eyelifts and jawline recontouring. Recently, the operation that has been increasingly popular within the middle aged male population is breast reduction for men, or gynecomastia.

Rising number of men receiving plastic surgery
Since 1997, the number of cosmetic procedures performed on men has increased by 106 percent. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported that men had nearly 1 million operations in 2012, with liposuction as the No. 1 most requested surgery. A number of factors may affect this rising trend, from the growing acceptance of plastic surgery among the general population, to the greater number of individuals reaching much older ages.

The numbers don’t lie. According to the 2013 statistics released by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more people are seeking plastic surgery than ever, with more than 11 million procedures taking place last year alone. American spent more money in 2013 than they have in more than five years.

While the rising popularity cannot be denied, several people are left wondering: What changed?

Following recent trends to stay relevant
Several studies have made headlines in the past few weeks likening the influx in procedures to a number of rising trends, from age discrimination in the job process to desiring a more Tinsel Town tint. While these fads may have a slight influence over plastic surgery patients, they are not the main culprit. Trends fade as quickly as they appear, and while they may cause rising numbers in a short period of time, they do not greatly affect the year’s numbers.

Decoded Science reported that several patients may have been motivated by an increasing social emphasis on appearance. Researchers recently tied the prevalence of the selfie on social media to the rising number of cosmetic procedures, as more people are concerned about the way they look when compared to others on these sites.

Mo’ money, mo’ procedures
The answer may not have anything to do with rising trends or societal pressure at all. It could, in fact, be boiled down to one, simple factor: money. Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome, told the source that as the economy continues to strengthen, people have access to more discretionary income, a luxury they were not afforded following the Great Recession.

Once people have more money to spend, they are likely to purchase items that they want – not those they necessarily need. Dr. Franco said that people may invest in their appearances when they have this extra cash lying around, whether they’re spending more money on cosmetics and clothing or finally buying that breast augmentation they’ve been dreaming about.

Just because your operation is over doesn’t mean that it’s time to stop caring for your body. Monitoring how you treat yourself in the weeks immediately following your procedure is essential to ensuring your results and overall health remain positive.
Before your procedure, be sure to conduct plenty of research regarding the operation and its recovery recommendations. Our staff at Clinica Del Rey will provide you with detailed instructions on what to expect as you proceed through your recovery. Aside from maintaining a healthy diet, be sure to keep the following in mind when recovering from your surgery:Understand the risks prior to your procedure
As with any operation, there are risks involved. Whether you’re receiving an injectable or going under the knife, there are several things to consider before your procedure. First, patients should only visit board-certified surgeons that they have spoken to beforehand. Choosing the right doctor – one that has experience conducting the procedure and is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery – is essential to the success of your results.
Additionally, patients should conduct research prior to their procedure to understand the risks associated with it.Follow the advice from your surgeon
There are several best practices that patients should follow after their procedure, but they are dependent upon the type of surgery the person chooses. While patients can typically return to their daily routines one or two days after an injectable, more invasive surgeries may require several weeks of recovery.

Using fillers at a younger age somewhat creates collagen, so you may not experience the same degree of atrophy because the skin is constantly rebuilding collagen. I believe that there is a benefit to starting fillers early with small, strategic placements of volume. When you provide support to the face, you set the stage for slower signs of aging, just like what we see with the use of Botox. However, as of press time, no studies have been released that show a direct correlation between fillers and a preservation of facila fat or delayed aging.

Although being a mommy comes with some of the greatest gifts of life, there are many parts of the body that can become altered during the birthing process. Pregnancy can cause the stomach skin to stretch beyond natural repair, and breast shape and elasticity can also become damaged. At Clinica del Rey we are experts in reconstructive plastic surgery and body contouring, and can help you achieve your desired, pre-birthing body again.

There are several options for mothers when it comes to achieving fuller, more sculpted breasts. Breast augmentation surgery, breast enlargement surgery and breast lift surgery, all of which are common procedures for ladies wanting to achieve the most natural, ‘pre-mommy’ look.

Excess skin around the stomach area (and stretched stomach muscles) which may develop as a result of pregnancy can be treated through tummy tuck surgery or mini tummy tuck surgery.

Dr Reyes or Dr Gutierrez assess each of their cases individually, and will provide you with the most personalized and professional advice on what surgery will be best for achieving a natural-looking, enhanced body shape.

Short Recovery Technique is increasingly used in Breast Augmentation procedures, due to its ability to speed up the recovery process for patients post-surgery. In order to minimise the discomfort and potential restrictions that surgical operation can often impose, this technique may enable the patient to avoid an overnight stay at a hospital and to resume normal and unrestricted activities following the operation. In order to warrant a short recovery time, this procedure is performed with gentle precision so to minimise tissue stretching or trauma. Certain measures are also taken to reduce the bruising, bleeding, swelling, and pain that are usually inflicted from traditional breast enhancement surgeries. During the procedure, Dr Edinburg makes use of a systematic heat dissection sequence to open up the breast pocket for implant placement. This method of dissection effectively aims to reduce blood loss to only 1mL or less per side so that blood staining of the implant pocket is avoided. This differs from traditional Breast Augmentation techniques whereby surgeons employ surgical instruments to open up the implant pocket.

Depending on the procedure you require, liposuction may be done under local or general anaesthetic. This will be discussed with the doctors at the time of your consultation. You may need to undergo a general anaesthetic depending on the complexity of your case, or if you require additional attention to certain areas of your body. Feel free to ask us about whether a local or general anaesthetic will be appropriate for you.

If you’d like to remove stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise, Liposuction or Liposculpture at Clinica del Rey can help.

A tummy tuck usually takes around 3 to 4 hours under general anaesthetic. The time taken will depend on the individual, and if any other factors need to be taken into account. Once you have had your consultation with us, you will get a better idea of how long your procedure will take. If you having additional cosmetic surgery on another part of the body at the same time, the surgery time will be longer.

The extent of scarring depends on how major your cosmetic surgery is. This will also depend on the different surgery techniques used. There is an incision line along the lower abdomen, which doctors will endeavour to place into the bikini line. How wide this is, will depend on what surgery technique is most appropriate for your situation. There are several options available in the market to help reduce the appearance of scarring. These include Vitamin E creams or Rose hip Oil amongst others. Ultimately, your best way to minimise scarring is to adopt a healthy lifestyle including good nutrition, careful sun exposure, no smoking.

Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear.

Otoplasty can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth that becomes apparent with development or it can treat misshapen ears caused by injury.

Ear surgery creates a natural shape, while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face. Correction of even minor deformities can have profound beneﬁts to appearance and self-esteem.

If protruding or disﬁgured ears bother you or your child, you may consider plastic surgery.

Specifically ear surgery can treat:

Overly large ears — a rare condition called macrotia

Protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees — not associated with hearing loss

Adult dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery

Ear surgery offers near immediate results in cases of protruding ears, visible once the dressings that support the new shape of the ear during initial phases of healing are removed. With the ear permanently positioned closer to the head, surgical scars are either hidden behind the ear or well-hidden in the natural creases of the ear.

Due to heredity, some people may never lose the childhood “chubby” look in their cheeks which can make them appear “overweight” and less attractive in adulthood. Buccal fat pad removal is an elegant but simple procedure that is designed to help patients that have full, round or “chubby” cheeks achieve a more sculpted, athletic facial appearance.

During buccal fat pad extraction, these oversized buccal fat pads are removed in order to give the patient a more elegant, sculpted facial appearance with improved contour of the lower face and enhancement of the cheek hollow. The overall look is one of a patient that appears to have lost weight as well as a more chiseled face with higher appearing cheekbones. The change afterwards is a subtle, beautiful thinning of the cheeks and not a drastic or unnatural change in appearance. Most people will simply ask if you have “lost weight.” The procedure itself is non-invasive, scar less and quick to heal in experienced hands.

There’s no denying the power of the selfie. Ellen DeGeneres’ star-studded selfie nearly broke Twitter with almost 3.5 million retweets, but the younger generation has been taking and posting this type of picture since photo-sharing options were first made popular on social media.

According to the survey, one in three patients who had facial procedures were influenced by the way they were portrayed in pictures on photo-sharing networking sites, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Specifically, the organization reported a 10 percent increase in rhinoplasties and 7 percent rise in the number of hair transplants in 2013.

Social platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and the iPhone app Selfie.im, which are solely image based, force patients to hold a microscope up to their own image and often look at it with a more self-critical eye than ever before, the study indicated that the younger population has been affected most by this rising trend. These sites generally receive the most traffic from students in college, middle or high school, demographics that are likely to be greatly influenced by the way their images are perceived. Surgeons reported a 58 percent increase in the number of patients under the age of 30 who sought procedures in 2013, according to press release. Additionally, the release indicated that the most popular operations among this age group were rhinoplasties, skin rejuvenation and acne reduction.

Vice president of the high-fashion brand Versace, Donatella, 54, has gone through a series of surgeries since the 1990s. Among other adjustments, her most noticeable changes have been to her nose and lips, and her trademark swollen smackers have scored her a spot on nearly every list of plastic surgery faux pas over the past few years—though there’s no real published evidence that Versace herself is unhappy with the changes.

The Real Housewives of New York City star was attacked by the media in 2008 for unabashedly flaunting her badly misshapen breasts. The former model and “ambassador for wool”—an achievement she mentioned in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, though the public has yet to figure out what that means—has since had a run-in with both copyright infringement and domestic violence, and doesn’t appear to have undergone reconstructive surgery.

The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider rhinoplasty:

Your nose is too large or too small
Your nose does not seem to fit with the rest of your face
Your nose is crooked, badly shaped, or out of alignment
You have nasal blockage inside your nose and have trouble breathing
You have a birth defect that you would like improved
You would like improvement, not perfection, in the appearance of your nose
If you are in good general health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for this procedure.

The results of rhinoplasty are permanent, so it is important that you have clear aesthetic goals when this procedure is planned. Rhinoplasty should only be performed on a nose that has finished growing; complete development has usually occurred by age sixteen or seventeen.

Gummy bear breast implants
Form-stable implants are sometimes referred to as gummy bear breast implants because they maintain their shape even when the implant shell is broken.
The consistency of the silicone gel inside the implant is thicker than traditional silicone gel implants. These implants are also firmer than traditional implants, but are thought to be less likely to break.
Gummy bear breast implants are shaped rather than round. They have more projection at the bottom and are tapered towards the top. If a shaped implant rotates, it may lead to an unusual appearance of the breast.
Placement of gummy bear implants requires a longer incision in the skin.
Round breast implants

Round breast implants have a tendency to make breasts appear fuller than form-stable implants. Higher profile options can achieve even more projection.
Because round implants are the same shape all over, there is less concern about them rotating out of place.
Smooth breast implants

Smooth breast implants are the softest feeling. These implants can move with the breast implant pocket, which may give more natural movement.
Smooth implants may have some palpable or visible rippling.
Textured breast implants

Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, making them less likely to move around inside of the breast and get repositioned.
Texturing offers some advantage in diminishing the risk of a tight scar capsule.
Implant manufacturers occasionally introduce new styles and types of breast implants, so there may be additional options available.
Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, it is important for you to monitor your breast implants and follow-up with your plastic surgeon for appropriate checkups.

Cosmetic nose job surgery, also called rhinoplasty, is one of the most common procedures on Clinica del Rey. A rhinoplasty can alter the shape and appearance of your nose by changing the underlying cartilage and bone. Nose surgery can make a large nose smaller, make a wide nose thinner, and make a long nose shorter. A nose job can also make a big tip more refined. Rhinoplasty can remove a hump or build up a flat nose. The possibilities are endless, and your plastic surgeon should tailor an operation for you that addresses your concerns but does not give you more than you wanted. Anesthesia can either be sedation or general. The Length of surgery ranges from 1-3 hours. You will go home the same day. Discomfort is moderate.

There are a number of things that can be done before, during, and after breast augmentation surgery. On your consultation, we use implant sizers to determine the volume of breast implants that will give you your desired result.

During your initial breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome or Dr. Bernardo Gutierrez will examine your breasts and take careful measurements which will guide them in advising you about your breast augmentation options. They will make special note of nipple position, breast volume, breast width, distance between your breasts, breast shape and projection, and height of the fold beneath each breast. They will point out asymmetries (no two breasts are symmetric), and they will explain which of your breast features they can improve and how. Each woman differs in their physical features and goals. Therefore, each woman deserves a surgical plan tailored to her needs.

Growing older comes with a number of challenges but one of the most common is the loss of volume in facial tissue. However, there are many cosmetic procedures, surgical and non-surgical, available for those who are looking to restore volume to their face.

Facial fillers are among the most popular anti-aging treatments for addressing the issue. The injections usually require very little recovery time and the effects can last for as long as two years

Synthetic fillers can be used as well as the patient’s own fat. Both of them tend to have little downtime.

While many people may think that self confidence is an issue that goes away once adolescence is over, the truth is that many baby boomers feel insecure about their appearance. In fact, a recent survey indicates that more than half of those over 40 do not think that they feel as old as they look.

There are a number of steps that boomers can take toward improving their self confidence, and some of the simplest steps can also be the most effective. For example, practicing a healthy lifestyle and having a positive attitude typically improves one’s appearance and self-esteem.

Along with diet and exercise, there are a number of popular cosmetic procedures that go further and can help stave off the appearance of wrinkles and aging. Procedures like Botox, fillers and skin treatments have become as routine as other personal improvements, such as a dental cleaning, a haircut or buying new clothes. These trends will likely continue to grow as the boomer generation gets older.

It is important to visit a core-trained, board-certified physician for both non-invasive and invasive treatments like Botox injections, fillers and peels.

“Should I or shouldn’t I?” many women ponder before going under the knife. Prior to considering any type of cosmetic surgery, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons associated with the procedure. Deciding whether to go through with a surgery can be difficult enough without having to wade through the laundry list of myths commonly associated with the operation.

Breast augmentation, which was the No. 1 surgery performed during 2013, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, can help improve a woman’s self-confidence, but can it lead to breast cancer? Will they leak? Won’t they feel unnatural? The answer to most of the common myths associated with this procedure is no, but there’s no harm in asking your physician anyway.

They will look fake: FALSE
A properly performed breast augmentation surgery will not lead to unnatural looking breasts. The most important selection to be made prior to your surgery is choosing the proper doctor, one who is board certified and experienced in performing cosmetic procedures. Tissue is constructed to match the patient’s age, weight, height and existing cup size, then implants are placed with care and precision for the most natural look.

I won’t be able to breastfeed: FALSE
One of the most common myths associated with breast surgery is that the patient will no longer be able to breastfeed due to inability or fear of transferring harmful chemicals to an infant. These are both, however, false claims. There currently exists no medical evidence that states breast implants interfere with breastfeeding capabilities. With or without implants, some women are unable to successfully breastfeed, but implants should not impede a woman’s ability to do so.

They will have to be replaced regularly: FALSE – but there are caveats
While implants do not have to be regularly replaced, ASAPS does remind interested individuals that they may eventually need to be. However, this solely relies upon the patient’s age when receiving the procedure, the type of implant she receives and how she treats her physical health.

Facial wrinkles are one of the most striking signs of ageing and are reported to be one of the most common reasons for patients to visit us at Clinica del Rey.

A peel consist of inducing a controlled aggression to the skin by applying a substance on the surface to remove layers and promote cutaneous regeneration. Improving the imperfections located in the removed skin layers results in a rejuvenating effect. Peels con be used on almost any part of the body, they are not obsolete and offer a good cost-to-benefit ratio.

They are intended to not only improve the aesthetic appearance of the skin itself, such as in cases of wrinkles, elastosis or melasma, but also to treat a wide range of clinical conditions such as acne, scars, folliculitis, psoriasis, keratosis, and pre-cancerous lesions.

Chemical peels are one of the most popular procedures and have some divisions based on their aggressiveness and ability to penetrate trough tissue:

Superficial peels

Medium-depth peels

Deep peels

Its important to have a consultation to see which one is indicated for every case.

The cohesive gel implants, comments Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome, are a breakthrough in breast augmentation surgery, as silicone implants have generated much controversy and concerns about possible leaks or problems that might occur in the material. This finding is very important considering breast augmentation surgery is one of the most demanding operations cosmetic surgery for women.

Dr. Bernardo Gutierrez says that cohesive gel implants were created to ensure that no leakage of material occurs. For instance, the implant may break in case of an accident, but even if the shell of the implant is broken, there would be no leaks, so it would not be harmful to the body. In addition to ensure there are no leaks, cohesive gel implants improve the appearance of the breast.

The number one way to make sure your plastic surgery goes well is to speak with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon. A medically trained doctor who specializes in aesthetic surgeries will be the best-equipped to provide you with quality care and satisfactory outcomes.

Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous people out there who pose as doctors, or who falsely say they’re trained to carry out Botox injections. Knowing the facts before you go in to see a plastic surgeon can help you ensure that you’re safe and sound throughout your entire experience.

Botulinum is a unique drug, because it is a biological agent, and thus, its potency is monitored by the FDA. The term “Botox” is actually a brand name, and there are generic alternatives out there – but buyers beware – other formulations may not be approved by the FDA and have damaging results.

There have been many stories in the news about unsuspecting individuals who had other substances injected into their faces by back-alley “doctors.” These injections can have detrimental and sometimes permanent effects on appearance and overall health. Botox should not be mixed with anything besides a harmless saline solution, which makes it injectable.

The news source also recommends that patients keep an eye on price. Anything that is offered at too cheap a price could be the generic brand.

There are three areas that can instantly age a person – their eyes, lips and neck. And while many people focus on facial features when it comes to deciding which surgical or non-surgical cosmetic procedures to consider, some experts say focusing on the neck is crucial.

“The front of the neck is one of the primary features we use to guess a person’s age,” said a DR. Franco Reyes Jacome. “It often catches our eye first. Sagging neck skin is the telltale sign of true aging, so restoration of the neck is an important part of facial rejuvenation or facial plastic surgery.”

Banding, wrinkling and fullness of the neck are among the things that make one’s neck appear old. Dr. Bernardo Gutierrez says that each case must be considered independently to determine which method can result in a younger-looking neck area.

“The key is to identify the underlying problem,” explains Dr. Gutierrez. “Is it wrinkles, or is it only deep lines that bother the patient? Maybe it’s just sagging skin, but not wrinkles. Perhaps the problem is both the skin and fat. Or, it could be all three: skin, fat and muscle.”

Deep lines in the neck can be treated with Botox, excess fat in the neck can be removed with liposuction and loose skin can be tightened during facelift surgery.

“If you properly correct the sagging neck in facial rejuvenation such as a face lift, that is the key to a youthful face and a happy patient,” said Dr. Franco.

With advancing age, it is more difficult to lose weight also accumulated fat deposits are more resistant to diet and exercise.
A true and proven in hundreds of cases option is liposuction, which involves removing fat deposits in different areas of the body, to give harmony and proportion attractive, which reflect a more slender silhouette.
When performing liposuction not only shows fat undesirable places, the skin retracts and also adapts to the new figure.

For many mothers, one of the most challenging aspects of giving birth is regaining their pre-pregnancy bodies. Many cosmetic procedures are aimed at providing assistance for those looking to regain their svelte physique. The so-called “mommy makeover” includes a tummy tuck, breast lift or breast augmentation.

One of the biggest reasons for the increase in popularity of such treatments is because many women are having children later in life. As such, their bodies are much less resilient than those of their younger counterparts. While diet and exercise can be helpful, sometimes plastic surgery is the final necessary step.

Since recovery time is a big issue to most mothers who have active lifestyles and are still caring for children and households, it is important to discuss postsurgical care with your board certified plastic surgeon.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, breast augmentations and tummy tucks were two of the most popular surgeries in 2013.

One of the joys of being in a committed relationship is growing old together, but men and women don’t always have the same experiences while aging. Genetics may play a part, but there are certain inherent differences that males and females will notice as they grow older, and these age-related issues should be addressed with differing plastic surgery procedures and techniques.

Signs of aging are typically most evident on the face, but where wrinkles appear will depend largely on a person’s sex. Men are more likely to develop deep wrinkles in their forehead, and it’s not uncommon for them to see their chins diminish over time.

Women, on the other hand, will typically see finer lines on the face, usually around the eyes – known as crow’s feet – or mouth, often referred to as laugh lines. While they may not see much of a change in their jaw line, they often will experience sagging skin around the neck, sometimes called a “turkey neck.”

For both men and women, wrinkles on the face can be treated with Botox/Dysport or soft tissue filler, though the location of the injections will vary depending on the location of the wrinkles. Facelifts can also be effective for both sexes.

Men who have diminished chins as a result of aging can ask our board-certified doctor about chin implants, which can square out the jaw line. Turkey necks can be addressed with a neck lift, a procedure that tightens the skin in this area.

Couples plastic surgery has been an emerging trend over the past few years – often, partnered men and women find the experience of going under the knife to be more enjoyable if they do so together. However, it’s important that each member of the couple have his or her own consultation, as they will need to address different aspects of the face.

When people talk about the first signs of aging they noticed, they typically say they were shocked to see new wrinkles forming on their face. However, if you spend time scrutinizing your hands, you may find that they have visible wrinkles and sunspots long before any other part of the body. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to make sure that your hands stay youthful as long as possible

If you want to avoid looking wrinkly, early prevention is the name of the game. It’s best to start caring for the skin on your hands before wrinkles and blemishes show up. Most people won’t see signs of aging on their hands until they reach their 30s or 40s, which means the time to begin applying lotions and other beauty products to your fingers and palms is the mid-20s.

Moisturizers and thick hand creams can be a big help, especially if you apply them overnight. If you are a frequent sufferer of hand dermatitis, which causes the skin to redden and crack, it may be best to avoid submerging your hands in water for too long. You can also ask your doctor for recommendations on products or medicines that can help improve the quality of the skin on your hands.

Cosmetic procedures
If you’ve already noticed some signs of aging on your hands, all hope is not lost. There are cosmetic options that can help restore the youthful appearance of the hands. Hand rejuvenation can remove sun spots and other blemishes on the skin, as well as fill in spots that have lost volume.

Many people are looking for ways to improve their physiques by shedding a few pounds, and one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, liposculpture, is aimed toward that end. However, some patients are better candidates for the body contouring treatment than others, Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome reports.

Experts are sure to make the distinction between the two types of fat: subcutaneous and visceral. Doctors from Clinica Del Rey said that subcutaneous is best addressed with liposculpture because it lies just beneath the skin and is typically responsible for problem areas such as love handles.

Conversely, visceral fat that surrounds the organs can only be reduced through physical activity and dieting. This fat produces hormones and chemicals that disturb normal body processes. Therefore, liposculpture alone is not the best course of action for individuals with a significant weight problem, Dr. Franco adds.

Many regular smokers fear that their complexion may be compromised forever due to their habit, but some of the skin issues related to smoke can be reversed if one is willing to take quick action.

Though the effects of smoking can be reduced by quitting, the later one gives up the habit, the less damage they will be able to undo.

Smoking harms the skin because the inhalation of chemicals puts the body under stress. To compensate, the body uses vitamins elsewhere in one’s system, lowering the number of vitamins your skin receives to help stay healthy. This can result in discoloration, sagging skin and wrinkles.

Additionally, the act of inhaling on a cigarette can cause cheeks to appear hollow and cause wrinkling around the eyes and mouth.

The good news is, within six weeks after smoking, skin will begin to appear healthier as it receives more oxygen and higher antioxidant levels.

We urge individuals who have recently quit to employ a strict skincare regimen to encourage skin to look its best. One should exfoliate on a regular basis and consider taking fish-oil or lycopene supplements. Exercising to oxidate one’s skin is a good idea as well, but we suggest people to take it easy at first to avoid any injury, which would slow the skin’s healing process.

There are many types of cosmetic procedures that one can undergo to help combat premature wrinkles from smoking. For instance, injectable soft tissue fillers and Botox are popular because it is less invasive than full surgery. We also suggest a chemical peel for visible wrinkles, which can promote the production of collagen.

Patients should discuss all available treatment options with our board-certified plastic surgeon to decide what treatment would best suit their needs.

For overweight or obese individuals, weight loss offers a number of benefits. In addition to reducing the risk of developing serious illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease, losing weight can also improve self-esteem and physical appearance. However, for some individuals who shed many pounds in a short amount of time, the end result can leave behind excess skin that is less than desirable.

To solve this problem, many individuals turn to plastic surgery. Procedures such as a tummy tuck can help eliminate this skin and make one’s slimmer figure appear more natural.

There are other procedures that may help those who have recently lost weight feel more confident about their body. These include arm lifts, breast lifts, butt lifts and lower body lifts.

When weighing your plastic surgery options, you must decide whether you want to pursue surgical procedures, like a facelift, liposuction or tummy tuck, or non-surgical alternatives, like Botox or dermal filler injections. Here are four questions to ask yourself when making this choice with your board-certified plastic surgeon:

1. How long do I have to recover?
Surgical options are more intensive, which means you’ll need a longer period of time to recover. If you aren’t able to take time off of work, or you don’t want to spend too much time at home recovering, then a non-surgical procedure with minimal recovery time, like Botox, may be a better choice.

2. How long do I want results to last?
One of the biggest benefits of surgical procedures like liposuction or neck lifts is that they typically carry long-term results. Patients who receive a breast augmentation or facelift may never go under the knife again, or may only do so many years down the line when further age-related changes necessitate another procedure.

3. How much do I want to spend?
While plastic surgery has become much more affordable over the years, an intensive procedure like a tummy tuck is going to be more expensive than some of the less invasive options. However, bear in mind that if you opt for Botox over a facelift, you’ll need to get multiple injections over time, as results only last six months.

4. Do I want a dramatic change?
Many surgical procedures, like breast implants, offer dramatic results, which will likely be noticed by friends and family. If this doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, then you may want to ask your doctor for a subtler, non-surgical cosmetic procedure.

Ninety-eight percent of women undergoing breast augmentation surgery say the results met or exceeded their expectations, according to a prospective outcome study published in the May issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Women also report improvements in self-esteem and quality of life after breast augmentation. The study adds high-quality information regarding expected outcomes after breast augmentation – including recovery time and psychological benefits.

98 Percent of Women Satisfied with Breast Augmentation Results

The survey study evaluated 225 consecutive women who returned for interviews at least one month after breast augmentation over a five-year period. Interviews included questions about the recovery, results, complications and psychological effects.

The average patient was 34 years old, and the majority of women received cohesive gel breast implants. The average implant volume was 390 cc.

Eighty-five percent of women rated their new breast size “just right.” Thirteen percent would have preferred a larger size and less than two percent a smaller size. Seventy-five percent of women rated their breast firmness “just right.” When asked to rate the result, over half of the patients gave it a perfect 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Almost all patients (98 percent) reported that the results met or exceeded their expectations.

Increased Self-Esteem and Other Psychological Benefits

When asked about psychological effects, 92 percent of women reported improved self-esteem after breast augmentation and 64 percent reported an improved quality of life. Before surgery, the majority of women (86 percent) were self-conscious about their breasts.
. “This study is valuable in providing information from the patient’s perspective, not the surgeon’s,” according to Dr. Franco Reyes. “Patient satisfaction is the most important measure of surgical success.”

How many times have you read a story about illegal plastic surgery in the news? It seems every week there’s a new case where an unscrupulous individual provided back-alley cosmetic surgery that led to injury, disfigurement or even deaths of a patient. While you may think that these stories are just one-offs that don’t happen frequently, the truth is, there are many people trying to make a quick buck by giving discount plastic surgery procedures. If you are planning on seeking out the services of a cosmetic surgeon in the near future, then you must educate yourself on the dangers of back-alley plastic surgery.

Danger on the rise
There are individuals giving out all sorts of illegal cosmetic procedures, from Botox injections to dermal fillers. However, there is one procedure that seems to dominate the news: buttock injections. USA Today recently ran a report about the number of such cases and what may be behind the increase.

Full, round posteriors have been popular for some time, but a number of celebrities, including Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, may be driving the increase in the number of people seeking out a plumped up rear end. There are even online forms that aim to connect prospective patients with these illegal providers. An April 2007 question on such a forum received over 14,000 responses. A woman in Georgia who died after traveling to Mississippi for buttock injections in 2012 found her administrator through the internet. She paid an interior director with no medical training $1,500.

The most recent case
There have been deaths associated with illegal buttock injections in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New York, according to the news source. The most recent case involves a Florida man named Calvin Butler, who is being referred to as the “motel surgeon,” according to the Sun Sentinel, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, newspaper.

Butler was sentenced to eight years in Prison on August 28 after he was found guilty of injecting two people, a man and a woman, with substances that he claimed would enhance their buttock, then sealing the injection sites with Krazy Glue. According to the news source, he charged each of those patients $200, and authorities expect others to come forward. One victim told police that he suffered an infection that required surgery following his procedure.

If you are interested in getting a buttock injection, make sure the person carrying out the procedure is a board-certified plastic surgeon and that the operation takes place in a medical facility.

Thinking about going under the knife, but not sure when the best time for plastic surgery may be? The fall and winter months are some of the most popular times for surgery clinics, so you may want to book a consultation now. Here are some reasons why:
1. Recovery is easier
Many people are hesitant to undergo procedures like breast augmentation or a tummy tuck because of the time it takes to recover. Unfortunately, there’s not much of a way around this issue, unless you choose a non-surgical procedure like Botox injections or fillers. However, if you are going to be taking it easy and mainly indoors for a few days, the cold, winter months might be a better choice. And, once you are able to go outside and move around again, wearing layers of clothes or accessories to hide any post-surgery garments, dressings or scars would be completely normal.
2. A great reason for a “staycation”
Do you know people who take time off to do things around town and spend some much deserved time relaxing in their homes? If you have a stressful job or life and have been thinking about having a procedure, this could be the perfect opportunity to have a “staycation” and recover. Being close to home means your doctor is accessible for follow-ups visits and you have your family and friends around to help.
3. The gift of beauty and care
For many, the holidays are the best part of the winter season. It’s not uncommon to hear of couples giving each other the gift of plastic surgery as a present. Many times mothers and daughters will go in for a skin treatment or Botox together. Even if you don’t get a trip to the plastic surgeon’s office as a gift from someone else, there’s no reason you can’t treat yourself. After all of the chaos that the holiday shopping season brings, it’s great to give yourself a little treat to help minimize stress.
If you are thinking of a procedure or would like to gift a friend or relative, be sure to contact our board-certified plastic surgeon’s office to get more information. The winter holidays will be brighter for everyone when safety is a top priority.

Rhinoplasty or nose surgery performed regularly to treat cases of malformations that usually occur after previous surgery or accidents. Apart from the appearance, functional rhinoplasty also treats functional problems of the nose and restore proper breathing. Bad breath has many unpleasant consequences: Sinusitis, headaches, ear infections, tonsillitis, snoring, sleep apnea, pneumonia, are just a few of them.
Many people suffer from problems that appear in both functional nose during sleep and during the day or during exercise and intense effort. Failure to participate in sporting events, etc, can even lead to depression or antisocial behavior.
Proper breathing reached by functional rhinoplasty is a necessity rather than a luxury.

I share this in a liposuction picture, in which one side is completed, improving body contours.
On many occasions, despite staying fit and healthy, there are areas of fat that can appear around your waist and other areas. Because of this your best option to eliminate these unwanted fat deposits is liposuction.

At Clinica del Rey we’re seeing more young women come to his office for Dysport/Botox. Our youngest patient is 19, the main reason behind it is to take preventative action for the wrinkles. If you prevent the wrinkles from forming, then you won’t have to maintain them when you’re older

The effects of it can last up to six months.

According to the 2012 Plastic Surgery Statistics report by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dysport/Botox looks set to rise in popularity with this seemingly image-conscious cohort.

One alternative to breast surgery is breast augmentation with your own fat tissue.
This technique, also called Lipofilling , is to transfer fat from certain areas of the body of the patient and injected into the breast.

The fat is obtained by Lipoescultura certain areas of the body and subjected to a purification of fat through specialized equipment which is going to separate the fat from other components in order to obtain intact cells only fat.

To perform this procedure, which assesses the quality and shape of the breast skin , as well as areas where we get fat.

This technique is indicated for patients who want a small increase because only can be increased to a size, as well as patients that there is some asymmetry of the breasts.

Patients who have undergone this procedure with Clinica del Rey have been very pleased since the result was beyond their expectations.

From an aesthetic standpoint, the face is the most important part of a person, so that any change made in the face, have a very important aesthetic impact.

Facial Liposuction removes fat deposits from specific areas of the face such as the chin, neck and jowls. And can be made only if the skin is firm and elastic. Thus, the skin can easily and rapidly adapt to the new contour.

In Clinica del Rey, this safe procedure with impressive results has helped thousands of people to look and feel younger and attractive.

Having a disproportionately large bust means for social problems and impaired self-esteem, in addition to medical problems such as back pain or neck steady, skin irritation, spinal deformities and even problems for activities such as exercise. This weight gain from adolescence can occur after pregnancy or after having gained weight.

If your bust size is uncomfortable for you to be great, you find unattractive and cause you to relate conflict in public, to use a blouse, a swimsuit or even causes you pain in your back, probably requires surgery breast reduction.

When performing an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck or Lipectomy) remove excess skin and correct the abdominal wall relaxation that usually occurs in patients who have had weight gain and subsequent loss or women who have had several pregnancies.
With a tummy tuck, get a flatter tummy, firmer and a narrower waist.
In some cases, we can combine abdominoplasty with liposuction depending on the valuation and expectactivas of each patient.

Having a perfect body is the main motivation of men and women who have found an excellent alternative liposuction that offers immediate and long-term stability by maintaining a proper diet. Only if you keep a healthy lifestyle and exercise can prolong results throughout life.

Liposuction is the surgical procedure by which it manages to give a better contour or greater harmony to body shape, not a weight loss procedure, but to sculpt and pronounce those curves that over the years and pregnancy are deteriorating.

The surgery female associates this with a sense of youth, better looks, more proportioned body and increased sensuality, which results a more and better self-esteem. But before taking this step one of the most frequent questions by the patients after the size and material of the implant, is whether placing them above or below the muscle, trying to know what type of procedure has major advantages, but this depends on the needs of the body, and both types of procedures are explained by the plastic surgeon at the time of pre-surgery consultation.

Lip augmentation is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures Clinica del Rey. The aim is to achieve a certain harmony with the shape of the face and the other elements of the face by correcting blemishes and disproportions in size, depressions and wrinkles.
Lip enhancement is performed by a specially designed material injection for the lips. Before surgery lip augmentation determines the lip area to be treated.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel absolutely no pain.
Aesthetic result is achieved fast, natural and very satisfying.
Its biggest advantage will look amazing results, natural and durable without changing the expression on his face.

Botox is traditionally used to treat wrinkles in the upper third of the face but in Clinica del Rey we use to treat various parties in addition to those already known.

Also to reduce gummy smile. Another application, highly appreciated by women , is the injection of small amounts of substance in the folds that form around the mouth.

Another spectacular result shown in the platysma muscle , this muscle is responsible for the wrinkles in the neck and botox treatment which often get results that have nothing to envy to a surgical facelift.

Also to avoid excessive sweating is injected a bit of this substance, mainly on the palms of the hands and feet, to block the sweat glands and prevent excessive perspiration.

We must remember that all applications require a lot of care by the plastic surgeon, since it must have an excellent knowledge of anatomy and experience.

Strive to eat nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily, because you will get a healthy dose of vitamin C along with an abundance of other vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that are good for disease prevention and overall health.

Just because you love the results from your first facelift doesn’t mean that your face no longer ages. Gravity and the natural process of aging will continue. Luckily for you, your face has a more youthful-looking starting point if you’ve already had a facelift.

With more patients getting a facelift earlier in life to benefit from preventive measures and the enhanced results that come with more youthful skin, it is becoming more common for them to consider a second facelift later. Even though a primary facelift lasts anywhere from eight to 12 years on average, the vast majority of patients never get a second. And just because you’ve noticed the signs of aging on your face, doesn’t mean a second facelift is required.

“People who are experiencing more looseness or sagging of the skin may benefit from a second facelift,” says Clinica Del Rey, plastic surgeon, Dr. Franco Reyes Jacome. “However, often as patients get older, they lose volume, which needs to be replaced. They may not need additional tightening of the skin.”

Many patients benefit from both surgery to address loose skin and fillers to replace diminishing facial volume. “Overall appearance does not just depend on the contour of the face and tissue beneath the skin,” Dr. Bernardo Gutierrez adds. “The quality of the skin on top plays a role as well.” So good skin care is key to maintaining a more youthful look for longer.

If volume and skin quality are not the issue, it may be time to look into a second facelift. For those worried about the safety of undergoing a procedure as an older woman, fear not. If evaluated properly, facelift patients over age 65 have no higher risk of complication than younger patients, according to a study published earlier this year in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. An older study showed the same to be true for secondary facelift patients versus first-time facelift patients: The second procedure was no more risky than the first for appropriate candidates.

However, any surgery is still surgery and requires due diligence in selecting a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in an accredited facility who has hospital privileges for the procedure he will be performing. “It requires more expertise and knowledge to diminish the risks of a second procedure and maintain a natural appearance that does not look over-operated,” Dr. Franco says.

Breast implants have been an integral part of breast surgery for over 35 years.

Its effectiveness is widely recognized and proven as the security issues are endorsed fully and currently there are international control mechanisms such as the FDA to ensure that they are reliable and safe for you.

When used topically, hyaluronic acid creates a moisture barrier on the skin, helping to make it smoother and softer. This ingredient is able to hold up to 1000x its own weight in water, thus producing amazing benefits for dehydrated skin. As an injectable, hyaluronic acid works as a plumper, filling wrinkles and fine lines. Because it is already naturally present in our bodies, hyaluronic acid is a safer alternative to synthetic ingredients and is less likely to be rejected as a foreign substance. The molecule, however, is quite large and can’t fully penetrate the outer layers of the skin to fill wrinkles when used topically.

There has been talk around the entertainment world about the fresh new look of the artist, and many would argue that he underwent facial plastic surgery.

A Note from an entertainment magazine said that Alejandro had undergone the knife, he got botox, had liposuction on the chin and got the puffiness from under his eyes removed. A family member of the son of Vicente Fernandez said,

“Botox is something that he has done for some time, but on this occasion besides the injections, he also went to remove the double chin with liposuction and removed small fat pouches underneath his eyes.”

Immediate breast reconstruction using tissue expanders or implants has become one of the most commonly used surgical techniques, which has made visible rippling and contour deformity a more frequently encountered problem. Therefore, the applications of ADM to breast reconstruction have been of particular interest to plastic surgeons. The recent addition of allogenic tissue supplements avoids the problems of autologous tissue coverage and provides camouflage, thereby decreasing rippling and increasing soft tissue padding. This rising demand, coupled with good outcomes in breast reconstruction, has spurred tremendous interest about ADM use in aesthetic breast patients, particularly in the management of Capsular Contraction (CC). In the past, revisionary surgeries for Capsular Contraction were generally performed with a total capsulectomy, removal of the implant from the subglandular plane, and the placement of a new implant in the subpectoral position.

This is a fairly simple procedure involving a change in implant placement from over the muscle to under the muscle. More recently, it has become necessary to perform revisionary surgery on volume-depleted breasts as a result of large implants that were placed under the muscle or severe scarring in the breasts. We remain plagued with a paucity of tissue, leading to the use of allogenic materials such as Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM). Our experience with patients who had their implant-related complications successfully corrected by a site change and the use of an ADM—provides a number of important conclusions.

First, the use of ADM enhanced soft tissue thickness or cushioning, decreasing and eliminating the visibility of implants.

Second, the use of these products increased our ability to successfully manage implant displacements and their recurrence.

The addition of the ADM to the management of breast augmentation intricacies gives us an exciting and, according to our data, reliable new surgical option. It is evident that by replacing the missing tissue at the implant interface, we are able to create an environment that is conducive to healing without excessive scarring Just as with any process that leads to excessive scarring, the key is to control the inflammatory phase and allow the healing tissue to transition quickly and smoothly to the next (proliferative) phase. It is also important to keep in mind that the true etiology of Capsular Contraction remains multifactorial and, by controlling all of the factors, we are able to see the future in prevention of this complicated and prolonged issue.

ADM is not a miracle product that can eliminate CC, but it serves as an adjunct to the already well-described principles in the management of CC, such as aseptic techniques with appropriate antibacterial pocket irrigations, postoperative drains, and the placement of textured implants. We postulate that in order to have a successful outcome with an ADM, the creation of a new pocket (raw surface) is essential to augment the interface.

CONCLUSIONS

ADM products show promise for applications in revisionary breast surgery and specifically for the treatment of complications of breast augmentation. This report describes different uses of the ADM that allow for the correction of established CC, malposition, and other implant related issues after previous subglandular or subpectoral breast augmentation.

Liposculpture is one of the most chosen cosmetic surgery because it offers the possibility of eliminating undesired fat safely and effectively.
Some of the main benefits of liposculpture are a better health associated with fat loss and a better appearance. It is performed to remove stubborn fat deposits that do not disappear with diet and exercise and will improve dramatically by liposculpture.
Of course, always in qualified hands.

Following pregnancy, despite regular diet and exercise, some women may find that they have excess skin in the lower abdomen, and others may find that they have breasts that have lost volume and “sag,” even after returning to their pre-baby weight. A mommy makeover describes the surgical procedures done to correct these changes and may include an abdominoplasty (also known as a “tummy tuck”), liposuction, and either a breast lift, breast reduction or breast augmentation.

When it is time to consider surgery, I urge all patients to do their homework before having surgery. Make sure that you see a qualified surgeon who is board certified by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Ask where the surgery will be performed and make sure that it is an accredited facility. Ask to look at photos and make sure that you like and trust your surgeon.

To ensure that you have a long-lasting result, you should be at your goal weight for at least six months and have stopped breast-feeding for 6 months. It’s important to have stopped breast-feeding because your breasts need to return to their normal size and shape and stop producing milk. Additionally, I advise patients to have completed childbearing before proceeding with a “mommy makeover.” You can have a successful pregnancy after a “mommy makeover,” but you may require more procedures if you have more children or large weight fluctuations after your initial surgeries.

The implants are placed through incision made between the buttocks, that it is imperceptible. These implants are cohesive gel and NOT have to be changed in the future. The surgery takes about one hour and can be ambulatory, depending on the patient’s recovery.

Men and women come to Clinica del Rey to make this change of image with spectacular results.
Important is to have an evaluation and meet the expectations of each person.

When performed in conjunction with a rhinoplasty it is referred to as a profileplasty. Each procedure complements the outcome from the other procedure. This procedure can add height to the chin as well as projection. When height is added this creates better harmony from the frontal perspective. Chin augmentation will also increase the length of the jawline enhancing the chin neck angle complementing a facelift or cervical liposuction.
